Very good for the price
|
This is a camera with a lot of features for the price. Quite ergonmically designed, it holds and handles well, and has a very good set of features, including some very useful customization options. It's probably the best camera at this price level if you are coming to digital SLR photography fresh (i.e., if you do not already have a lens collection, etc.).
Having said that, if you are willing to spend more money, the Nikon D300 beats this one in many areas, such as the Auto ISO functions, the WB functions, and so forth -- but, as I say, it is significantly more expensive than the 40D, and also geared much more toward the more advanced prosumer market (the 40D, for example, has picture styles, which are preset shooting modes for different settings similar to what a point and shoot often has, but the D300 omits this kind of functionality in light of its intended core user of more advanced photographers).
On the lens -- I was very disappointed in the lens. The end of the lens was wobbly, it shook around easily and noisily when I moved the camera around, as did the distance meter. When I extended the zoom, that went away (at least with respect to the lens body, but the old plastic-y feel is still there). Beware that this lens also has a reputation for sucking dust into the camera. It didn't take terrible pictures, but for a camera/lens kit of this price level, I didn't expect a lens that just felt cheaply put together.
In all, if you are a Canon user and/or have a good stock of Canon lenses to use with this, it's a good camera body at the price. If you're a Nikon user, you won't find much of a reason to switch in this model. |
